Many of our friends and family have reached out to express their condolences and prayers to our family during this time. We are so thankful for each one of you. John loved his children very much. Many people have asked what they could do to help. At this time, the greatest need we have is to honor the wishes of his children, Kaden and Kailee Strength, and bring him home for a burial service. Unfortunately, John did not have life insurance assets to assist with this need. We wanted to create this GoFundMe to make it easier for those that have asked to be able to donate to assist with services. Again, we just wanted to express our thanks for so much love and support that we have felt through this tragic time.
